It’s thanks to vast improvements in technology that digital photography has become part of our daily lives. It is now available to the masses, and not just those few who could afford the expensive process and knowledge of using film and a darkroom. Now however, people are able to shoot, edit and print their images with ease within minutes. There is no need for film or chemicals, just access to computer where there are numerous photo editing programs.

Obviously due to the success and growth in the market for digital cameras, film does not seem to have completely died out, yet it has made a clear impact. For example, many films have been taken off the shelves, and even more recently, Polaroid announced they too were discontinuing their products. On the other hand, I think the over use of digital photography has made people appreciate film photography more. Images like the ones below may seem like something that is easily done. It’s when you find out it was all done in the darkroom that it makes you value what photography was like before Photoshop.
